I humbly disagree. If the air is still then the silicone would have lower thermal resistance and would sink away heat better. Air is a much better insulator than silicone.
In still air you can only cool via radiation, which wouldn’t be much, or via convection. In a small space there’s no room to set up decent convection currents so the cooling via that method is small too.
Every part of this mount rattled loose on a 6 mile ride. Back to the drawing board. Im going to copy @JoeyZ5
This looks like a riot of fun. Tkp, short wheel base, and good hubs. Wish I could try it
Can confirm that silicone actually transfers heat reasonably well. I have my escs siliconed down to a curved aluminium heatsink that gets surprisingly warm.
Finally made an enclosure, new old battery from @haven is really impressing me after a single shakedown ride. No cutouts and moar range compared to the 30qs sitting in the background. Guess battery tech really does make a difference, ty molicel
Awesome setup! Glad to hear the battery is performing well for you 
To go to all that trouble I’d also put some thick epoxy where shown in attached pic. I’ve had magnets slide up on FS6384s.
DIY retaining ring 
Yeah it got me another 100km or so before i completely cooked them
Edit: pushing too many amps for them so can’t really blame them.
Dude.
Was that on the newer battle hardened ones?
Because to me those magnets look super duper glued down.
I do wonder if that blue chunk of epoxy was always at the bottom there or if it was up here and fell off and ended up there.
I can’t seem to dislodge it easy…
Wow dude.
You might be better at breaking shit than I am.
Good work!!!
I’ve been banging this one hard for about 3 weeks now. Pretty addictive.
Yeah fcatrs are already great, and bloody beetroots are just fun
Every one of these decks seems to break like that
bq76952…nice!
Amazed you found enough of them for production.
Have to ask my college but a few weeks ago the 1000 unit price was good and lead time was 1 day.
This is the prototype, we are doing the project together with Dr. Martin Jäger from Hamburg.
Next step will be a reseign with a few more features like separate charge port, moisture sensor, Wake-up-over CAN and more.
If you like to see special features or need a BMS for projects please let me know.
What markets are you planning to sell this to? Any ISO specific certifications?
